Over the summer I developed pain below my knee and on the outside of my shin. I visited the doctor who was unable to diagnose any specific problem. Still suffering pain I turned to Alex's service - the ability to use a mobile service coming to visit me at home after work made it really convenient. On his first visit Alex spent time looking at posture, alignment. His calm logical explanation of what he was doing but me at ease and he was able to diagnose a difference in leg length ; caused my tension in the back. In the 3 subsequent sessions the treatment has helped get me pain free and feeling energised. His manner and treatment is such that I have complete trust and faith in his service. Without Alex I would still be in pain. Now I am back to playing tennis and enjoying playing football with my 5 year old. The mobile service has made it so easy to arrange visits.Moreexpand_more
I am a keen sportsman/gym user of 21. Alex has helped my body with lower back pain, knee pain and posture problems. He helped me realise what I may have been doing wrong aswell as helping me with great enthuisasm and interest. I found that alex really was interested in getting to the bottom of my problems and making sure I was healthy and was able to function properly to such an extent he helped me outside of office hours to make sure I was doing well. All round the help I recieved was far more than I could have asked for and I would recomend his healthcare to everyone.
I have suffered with back and neck pain, on and off for years following an accident at work. I have over this time used various chiropractors, osteopaths, doctors etc. Most of which just seemed to be going through the motions and none of which offered much relief. Following my visits to Alex, the immediate effects were incredible and I can honestly say that he has helped improve the long term picture as well. He really took the time to get to know what my problem was and tailor a solution to suit my needs, this evolved over time and subsequent visits. I have and will continue to recommend Alex's services to whoever may need them. I only wish he hadn't moved so far away!
I had suffered on and off from shoulder pain for roughly 3 years the last 8 months being contant. I went to see Alex for a consultation as to what was causing the pain and he explained thoroughly what was causing it and how to proceed with treatment. I started twice a week for the first month then once a week and am now down to once every 4 weeks. The treatment I have been given has been second to none I am now totally pain free and feel like a new person after every visit. Being a builder/roofer its really important to feel 100% so I really appreciate what Alex has done for me and would recommend him to anyone who is suffering.
I suffered with sciatica for about 4 months before deciding to try chiropractic. I found Alex very friendly and personable and he explained all about how the spine works, how sciatica is caused, and how chiropractic would help. To start with progress was slow but steady in the early weeks but improved a lot after a couple of months. When I started I had a lot of pain walking and bending, and certainly could not run. After a couple of months I was walking fast again without pain and later could run again without pain as well. I would recommend Alex and chiropractic treatment especially if you have not obtained any relief from your problem through the usual NHS channels.
After suffering back pain for over twenty years and trying various treatments I went to Alex. After a short time I found myself out of pain and my whole body feels good. Alex explained the problems and procedure thoroughly and was professional, sympathetic and friendly at all times. I would whole heartily recommend him. Meg Chapple - LEIGH ON SEA.
I came to see Alex after a recommendation from another patient. I was in a really bad way with pain in my back and was on a high dose of painkillers everyday which didn't really make the pain much better but completely wiped me out. After my initial thorough assessment it was decided that I needed treatment several times a week to get my back working properly again. Approximately six months down the line I am now practically pain free for the first time in 10 years. I cannot fault the care I have received from everyone at the clinic, I only wish I had found them sooner.
I went to Alex in pain from head to toe, and feeling very sceptical. I have tried any possible relief since 1988, admittedly I did not see out all the treatments. Alex explained everything he was going to do, and why. His manner is second to none, which helps me to relax. As a result of his treatment, I now feel taller, do not have any pain at all, feel very happy, am more patient and tolerant. What is most important to me, is that I am enjoying life like I used to.
I suffered excruciating pain which started behind my right eye and went to the top of my head and down my neck, (also on the right side). The treatment to my neck and shoulders massively reduced the tension and discomfort and supported the pain relief I was taking, (which prior to the treatment worked but for very short spells). Without a doubt it was the best desicion I made and I would not hesitate to use your services again. Many thanks.
After only a few weeks treatment at Optimu mspine Centre there was a marked improvement The severe pain was greatly reduced in all areas I could move my arms more freely as a result I could bend to tie shoes laces Sitting was no longer an ordeal I could now visit the shops with confidence My depressed moods have disappeared and no longer take strong painkillers.
I was suffering from a trapped nerve in my neck for a number of months and was in constant pain. I had been taking a large number of painkillers which made me feel ill. I saw Alexander and within a month he had managed to free the nerve and significantly reduce my pain. I am now completely off my painkillers and am sleeping better. Alexander has a very professional approach and takes the time to explain what is wrong and the treatment required. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
I had been suffering from occasional lower back pain for a number of years ā I sit at a desk all day and it has stated to take its toll. Ten weeks ago I started to suffer four continuous weeks of bad pain, which totally limited what I could do ā so I went to visit the Optimum Spine Centre just to see if it could help me. Now six weeks later I am free from any pain, in fact the pain was reduced dramatically after only a couple of visits. Whilst I did not realise it at the time my spine, posture and general movement was poor, and I can really feel the difference now. My visits have been scaled back and will be scaled back soon to just once a month or so to keep my spine aligned and in good order. I would thoroughly recommend Alex, who explains things clearly and concisely, if you have back or neck pain go and see him ā do not put it off. I would also say that the service provided is very good because appointment times are always on time, and the reception staff are very welcoming.
A couple of months ago when I first met Alex I had serious problems with my neck, which lead to headaches and tingling sensations down my left arm. Thanks to Alex, my neck pain, headaches and the tingling sensations have all gone. I'm now able to do all the jobs I used to do at work and I'm back doing the sports that I love. I've also been able to start a new sport, Thai boxing. This is all thanks to Alex.
I have been working in the catering industry for 15 years and have been heavy lifting everyday. I damaged my back 10 years ago and thought I just had to live with the pain, this year it got so bad I had to do something about it I visited Alex and over the last 6 weeks I have now got to a point where my back feels the best it has in 10 years, Iām able to smile and feel happy everyday without that nagging back pain in the back of my mind Thank you Alex.
A couple of months ago i was on heavy pain killers for my sciatica, and i decided that was too much, so i booked in to see Alex and within a few sessions there was a remarkable change in my problem. 5 week later i was now pain free and can do all the activities i did before. Totally unbelievable, alex gave me my life back and i am completely grateful. My only regret is i did not attend earlier.
After suffering from sciatica on and off for many years, I decided to take the plunge and answered the advertisment in the local paper for the opitimum spinal clinic. Since i could not get rid of the recent re- accurrance of back pain and sciatica with strong pain killers. On my first visit I was some what sceptical, but the whole process of what the treatment would involve was explained by Alex , in such a way that made me think otherwise. I have been returning week after week and have noticed a rapid improvement to the functioning of my lower spine, and no return of the sciactic pain . I would recommend chiropratic treatment to any who has suffered for too long.
The reason I decided to seek chiropractic treatment was because I suffered regular back pain following an accident I had 15 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the treatment could also help the daily headaches I was getting. After only a few sessions, my headaches have stopped and my back pain is much less frequent. I am so pleased with the treatment that I have been receiving and I would definitely recommend that anyone suffering back pain or headaches seeks chiropractic treatment as an alternative to medication.
Alex is an exceptional Chiropractor who has made a noticeable difference to my back which has ultimately led to a better standard of living. His dedication to deliver results is outstanding. He talks you through every stage of the treatment and gives encouragement to enable you to achieve the required results. I would not hesitate to recommend him and The Optimum Spine Centre.
I have been using a chiropractor for many years, initially to help with lower back pain not helped by my job as a nursery/reception teacher. Just recently I have been under a great deal of stress and consequently suffered a lot of tension across my shoulders and in my neck this lead to a lot of severe headaches. Since visiting Alex I have much less tension and happily no more headaches. Alex explained how the stress had affected me and was clear in his explanation of the course of action needed to help. I will be visiting him weekly for the next couple of weeks and then every two to three months to ensure things are ok. I highly recommned Alex Smith as a chrioprator, his work helps so much more than back pain.
I came to the chiropractor with no real back pain, strange I know! I did though have problems with incredibly poor posture,unstable pelvis, depression and no energy whatsoever. After a period of treatment and very friendly support I can honestly say I am up right noticed by lots of friends, feel stronger in the hips and my levels of energy have increased by 100%. It's good to be able to get up in the morning and feel able to face the day. My gym membership is now actually being used and the garden is looking good as I can bend to weed now! Don't think a chiropractor is just for a bad back there's a lot more involved.
